Board fees?

Be professional about it, factor it into your selling price, don't sucker me in to threads telling me something is "x" price and then add the rider of (plus 4% more for fees).
Paypal fees are and always have been a sellers fee. Not sure some of the folk here seem to realise that.
Board fees?
Despite this disclaimer I continuously see fee sellers asking for the buyer to pay the 3% fees. Why do sellers think this burden should be on the buyers? As someone who sells and either accounts for the fees in the price (or pay the fees myself since I usually have to haggle) it makes me much less likely to buy anything from someone else since I feel like I'm the one paying the fees when buying and selling.
I build the fees into my prices, however if someone is haggling and asking for lower prices that usually end up being a shade over 10%, I will ask that the contingency of me accepting a lesser price is that the fees are added onto that lower price.
I've also had a ton of pleasant gift transactions. Paid others that way without a problem so far (won't for just anyone) and have been paid as gift many times and never flaked out on anyone.
I give buyers the option to send payment as a gift if they want the item cheaper (or they can cover the fees). I've been on the forums for basically a decade, and I'm not ripping anyone off. In my opinion, it's up to the buyer to decide how they want to pay. Only a handful have decided to pay via "gift", but they got their items and are happy (and saved money)!
If the seller has been on the forums for only a brief time, has a low post count, etc....then you are insane to send payment as a gift.
